"Give even an onion graciously."-Afghan Proverb

The refrigerator light goes on...

This is, quite simply, a great breakfast. The caramelized onions bring a sweetness and umami flavor to the eggs and the cheese is perfect with the eggs. Like having French Onion Soup for breakfast. Great cold, too!

Egg Sizes

Size does matter. For the most part the eggs that you buy in the store come in 3 different sizes – medium, large and extra-large. Most recipes, including the ones on this site, are written using large eggs. Just as important, the nutrition information is based on large eggs and using an extra large egg has about 20% more nutrients (including calories, fat and cholesterol).

With baking or making desserts this is key because these recipes are basically chemistry and success depends on exact amounts of ingredients. If you are out of large eggs and need to use another size, here's a rule of thumb for substitution: 5 large eggs = 4 extra-large eggs = 6 medium eggs.
